Fury famously vacated his WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO titles on October 12 after feeling too much pressure from the anti-doping investigation and mental health issues. The BBBoC then suspended Fury’s license the following day on October 13.
‘The Gypsy King’ has not fought after famously dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015.
In addition to his fighter’s license, Fury apparently also applied and received a manager’s license according to his Instagram account.
Fury will make his official comeback on June 9 in Manchester. His comeback opponent is yet to be announced.
